RAAD-DAAD-CAAD + Tallboy + S-Works Crux

Oh okay, I was hoping for 120

Although it would look good on the exploro...

3T seatpost issues aside

You can have it cheap

X2 you don’t want some dick on a blue canyon going past you up Whiteways.

Ha, to be honest it's made me ride better. I now get out the saddle instead of trying to grind my 95kg up a hill. The ratio gaps match my mountain bike (same cassette) so it all feels very natural to my muscle memory. Strava tells me i'm faster also.
Confident I can tackle most climbs down here in the SW on the routes I take. But do have a lovely 46T Garbaruk ring that i can step down to for long days in the saddle. Generally i'm 1 to 2 hrs though.

Voice of boring again but don’t cut and slam you’ll surely want this for some time??

Have you seen how long I keep bikes? 134 miles. That's how long! But yes, this one will be around for likely 2+ years. Currently as picture had 3.5 cm + a .25cm cannot be lost spacer.
1.5 - 2 CM retained seems sensible. This does have +8mm greater stack vs the Strada. Though so maybe 1CM come to think of it.

Purple I think is better than blue.

Neither! Well, the Blues will be fitted until my ordered Black RX4s arrive. Who knows what color the bore caps will end up mind. 8 week lead time on the new ones.

It’s fucking awesome!!

Thank you!! I'm excited to get back on a road bike after the most recent love affair ended in heartbreak.

Generally i'm 1 to 2 hrs

Everything falls in to place

this one will be around for likely 2+ years

Calling dibs now

Calling 2nd dibs now

FTFY

But do have a lovely 46T Garbaruk ring that i can step down to for long days in the saddle.

Shit fixie skidders say >>>>>>

Right then.

Everything is here now for this to be built. Can I get a ride in before the weekends out?
Probably not.
This bike is on a whole new level for internal routing. Wish me and my trusty gear cable luck.

Still don’t have a S-Works saddle. Got one? It’s wide? Hit me up...

I have a 155mm lowly pro version going spare. Not even sure why I have it, as I run 143s.

Going to give my Tarmac a ride today, I’ve externally routed the front cables because #rimbrake

I’d hope so, even if without sworks saddle

This bike is on a whole new level for internal routing. Wish me and my trusty gear cable luck.

Get the vacuum cleaner out, worked like a charm on my Cervelo

Great success. Absolute doddle compared to the 3T. 1hr all cables ticked off.

This might actually be rideable tomorrow. Fingers crossed I have the appropriate BB tool in my toolbox.
Oh, and there are not additional chain links required.

The 3T has been refunded.
But they refunded me £13.90 instead of £1390. LOL.
Email sent to customer service...

Oh, and no ride today. So close though. Just brakes left to bleed.

Admin fee innit

Hah, let’s see whether the customer will notice...

I've just bought another set of rx4's. Just seen a pair of sram flat mounts, black with gold bore caps. I already have a rear black one but just bought the pair as it will be easier to just sell the one I currently have.

So right now I own 7 rx4 calipers. Surely a forum record.

I've got an s-works 143mm saddle I might sell, is that wide enough?

hah! nice try 3T!

did you have to send the frame back? i've heard on some warranty claims about having to cut the BB area out of the frame and send pics to the manufacturer before they'll send a refund.

If they wanted a picture of it rendered unrideable, then just the most recent build pic would suffice surely?

155mm Sworks Power on facebook looks in good condition

Marketplace? I might borrow the mrs’ FB.

They collected it - much to the disapproval of the DPD chap who turned up to pickup what I suspect he thought would be a phone sized package to be presented with a bike box. First drop of the day 🤣

Money situation has been rectified. Merlin have been exemplary with this.

Wish the same could be said for the Specialized Concept Store who thought telling me the stem top cap cover that was damaged in delivery had been put on back order with no ETA was acceptable. I could see the kit was available on their bloody website with 10+ stock...

Yeah

Found it. Somebody is going to collect tonight. If they don’t show... it’s mine 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Pray for me.

Also reactivated my fb. Wasn’t worth the “How much??!!” Conversation....
